20. Honestly that part of the movie irritated me too
He did mention the taxes but the free free free was hammered in, to the point of showing the cashier at the NHS hospital in england being a place that dispenses money.

Big whoop. I've never shelled out cash at a hospital. When my wife has our first kid by c-section and the bill was 18 grand we didn't get it till after we had left the hospital. Yes Hospitals have billing departments, but most people in america as well never sign a check, or fork over cash at the hospital.

I get his point, but he did it badly, and people are picking on it. He shouldn't have put it the way he did, and I feel it was dishonest.

Would I rather have national health care that comes out of taxes? Absofuckinglutely. I just don't get why Moore has to cloud the waters on topics that don't even need it. It just gives people ammunition.
